Played at Punggol range on 18 Jan 2012 at 8pm. The place not packed with golfers (which is good). The mat is new (which is good). Dunno how come I can easily hit 200 metres for my driver and 4 iron (is the distance wrongly placed)? The mats were placed at appropriate distance (unlike some driving range where the mats were closely placed).

Ponggol range uses carpet instead of grass, so when ball hit the ground it bouncesoff further. No surprise I hit further with my Ping G15 driver!

Happy Chinese Year to all!!!

going back to mandai. Heard from the staff there that Seletar whom took over the area is doing some major planning to upgrade the area.Not sure will they add in another 9 holes? or extend the length of the fairway?
